Using cards as a catalyst in idea development

Using Ola Möller’s cards “Method Kit” as an inspiration, I made a set of cards with 50 different pictures (and our logo on the back – visible on the picture above) that we use during brainstorming as a catalyst for changing the way you see the problem by introducing associations to a picture that I carefully selected to be able to mean many different things to different people.

Another set of cards I made is more a collection of methods, a lot of them can be found in the Toolbox section of this site. But this way you can easily use them while working on idea development where a computer would be more of distraction than a helpful tool I feel.

Ola came by the office the other day and told me that there are big plans for Method Kit in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled for updates. (of course I’ll keep you posted when I’m able to tell you more.)

And while I’m on the subject, check out another one of Ola’s many projects, The Project of How, where you’ll find tons of methods for creative development.

Hi

I'm Stefan Leijon and this is my hub online.
I mostly write in English since I have friends in different parts of the world, but I live in Stockholm, Sweden so I will occasionally write a post in Swedish.
